Getting tourists into orbit

Somewhat counterintuitive, you want a rocket to be top heavy. (This is an old conundrum called the "pendulum rocket fallacy"). For a stable rocket, you want mass concentrated at the front, and drag at the back. Like a dart or arrow.

I think your main problem is that you have too much drag at the front. Those inverted command pods are probably created more drag than they look - changes in the diameter of parts tends to cause a lot of drag. If you have parts available, you might look at other passenger cabin options. Or you could try to enclose the top in a fairing.

You can also try adding fins to the very bottom of the rocket. But a draggy front end will always impair stability.Getting tourists into orbit
